With links to news, reviews, events, riding skills, maintenance and racing series updates. Morning Reads is a one stop shop for motorcycling information.

Gemütlichkeit is the warm, comfortable feeling
one receives from pleasant surroundings and atmosphere.
I think you will find that when you come here.

"built like a gun, goes like a bullet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Enfield)".

A long time ago and very far away I rode one of these. I recall going around a corner and swerved to avoid running into a pile of elephant dung. Elephants leave a remarkable pile behind. It was a sharp turn and no place to go. The bike went low side.

I recall laying in the road with no other vehicles in sight. The engine had died and the countryside was very quiet. It was surreal. 10,000 miles from home and downed by a pile of the essence of elephant. :laugh :banghead

Sorry, no pic available.
